I've been using Hermes now for about a week and trying to keep it separate from Claude Code and having it as my essentially personal agent. What's everyone's favorite skills or setups or Hermes when it comes to business, life, organization, or just anything day to day.

So I'm sure you guys have heard the term "AI slop", and everyone sorta defines it differently. Maybe you think it's those TikToks of AI-generated fruits going on dates. Maybe it's infographics with misspelled words. Maybe it's something else entirely. But I want to talk about it in the context of communication. Internal, external, content you put out into the world. I write my LinkedIn posts with AI. My agent knows my business, how I write, how I speak. That's just how I work now. And there's nothing wrong with that. I think everyone should be using AI to write if it makes them more efficient. But this isn't a binary yes or no. It's a spectrum. Sometimes AI can draft and send automatically. Most of the time, I want it to just draft. Then I review. If someone sends me an email with em dashes everywhere, I don't actually care at all that they used AI. The fact that I can clearly tell it's AI-generated isn't the problem. What I do start asking is: → Did they proofread this? → Is this completely accurate? And subconsciously, I might start losing trust. Not just in the email but in the person who sent it. Our job here has changed from writer to reviewer. This quote has really stuck with me: "You can outsource your thinking, but you can never outsource your understanding." When your name is attached to the content, you take credit if it lands, as you should. But that also means you need to take accountability if it's incorrect. Taste and reviewing are becoming more important than ever. AI is super intelligent and powerful, but I don't want to see a world where we trust AI so much, that we stop reviewing things, and then the human on the other end of the content starts losing trust in us. That's why even though I write with AI, and people know that, I still try my best to disguise it and make it sound as "Nate" as possible. Check out the LinkedIn post I just wrote about this HERE

Long story short i built a Customer Support Email Agent with n8n,all that its left is finding clients. My problem is,that every single day theres always something new with AI. I know that Claude Code is popping off but at the same time i have built something for the first time in n8n. So my question is,should i stick with n8n and dive my head deep or switch to claude code and build from there?

Hey all, quick question for anyone who's sold AI automation or SaaS to small local businesses (dentists, clinics, law firms, salons, that kind of thing). What actually worked for you to land your first few clients? Cold email, walk-ins, warm intros, ads, partnerships? Did you niche down hard or stay broad? Anything you wish you'd done sooner, or stopped doing earlier? I'm building an AI receptionist and shifting from "we automate everything for everyone" to picking one vertical and going deep. Would love to hear from people who've actually been in the trenches with local SMBs. Thanks 🙏

About 8–9 months ago, we built an AI system for realtors that: • replies to leads instantly • recommends properties automatically • follows up when leads go ghost • handles calls through AI agents • works 24/7 even when the agent is sleeping • and saves around 20+ hours every week The main goal was simple: help agents stop losing leads because of slow replies and inconsistent follow-ups. I asked a few entrepreneurs about it, including Nick Saraev, and they said it’s a strong idea. But now I genuinely want outside opinions. Do you think systems like this are actually the future for real estate, or is the AI automation market getting too overcrowded?
